reinko Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 First time poster, and hopefully first time Edge owner come this Monday. I am coming off 2014 Escape Titanium lease, and this will be the first car I buy in close to 10 years. Looking at a 2015 Ruby Red SEL, with 201A option package, with 23K in miles near the Boston area with the V-6. Currently just below 26K, according Truecar the price is right...will try to get them to 25 flat, plus taxes, fees...My wife and I are single car family, but only average 8K miles a year, so looking for something for the long haul. Also considering a similar Titanium they have on the lot for $29K, that has 18K miles that has the I4 Eco-Boost, Tech package. The only thing is it both above were rental vehicles (clean Carfaxs), and I have read a lot of articles, about things to look out for. They are both coming from a Ford dealer, with and the balance of the manufacturer warranty is included. Would love anyone's thoughts, impressions, on these deals, or potentially buying a former rental vehicle. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 From the sounds of people on this forum, the 15 v6 seems to have some issues... I'd be weary of getting into something that I'm not sure what was or wasn't fixed yet. Throttle body, PTU, water leaks to name a few. That being said I just bought a '16 SEL v6 and love it so far! Read up on '15 issues and take to independent mechanic have all those things looked at closely and then make the decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjm623 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 No problem, it's a nice looking vehicle that's for sure! My wife just got the 2017 escape, seems that may be in your price range. Not sure if your trying to go for a different body style this time around but still a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB3 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have a 2015 Edge Titanium V6 AWD that has been in service for just over a year. It has had no issues to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
